Changes in 1.1.0

Minor Changes

Added package-level documentation for ?VetResearchLMM.
Added the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, Clemson University, Clemson, South Carolina, USA affiliation in package metadata and package-level documentation.
Added report_mixed_model() as an optional easystats/report integration for fitted mixed model objects.
Added guarded report::report() calls throughout fitted example workflows and vignettes so model interpretation follows immediately after fitting.
Added emmeans_mixed_model() as an optional emmeans integration for estimated marginal means and post hoc pairwise comparisons.
Added emmeans calls to examples with least-squares means, contrasts, pairwise comparisons, or fitted trend interpretation.

Show all changes in 1.1.0Hide the rest of the changes in 1.1.0

Modernized example preprocessing with collapse::fmutate() for factor and indicator-variable creation.
Updated the minimum R version to 4.1.0 because the modernized examples use the base R pipe operator.
Added Quarto vignettes for package introduction, mixed model methodology, book examples, and ggplot2-based plotting.
Added pkgdown configuration with reference and article organization and cleaner typography for the package site.
Added regression tests for book examples with readable numerical targets.
Added testthat data-integrity tests for bundled datasets.
Updated dataset documentation to match the packaged data objects.
Moved modelling packages used only in examples to Suggests and added ggplot2 for plotting vignettes.
Refreshed package metadata needed by current R CMD check and bumped the package version to 1.1.0.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("VetResearchLMM", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("myaseen208/VetResearchLMM")

Development version from myaseen208/VetResearchLMM. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-vetresearchlmm

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-VetResearchLMM

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-VetResearchLMM

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
